Answer 1

You can also check using this if it is true then user is not logged in else logged in

    if(Yii::app()->user->isGuest){
     //not logged user
    }else{
     //loggedin user
    }

Answer 2

Use access rule to achevie this would be a better way:

public function accessRules()
{
     return array(
         array('allow',  // allow all users to perform 'index' and 'contact' actions
              'actions'=>array('index','contact'),
              'users'=>array('*'),
         ),
         array('allow', // allow authenticated user to perform 'delete' and 'update' actions
              'actions'=>array('update','delete'),
              'users'=>array('@'),
         ),
         array('deny',  // deny all users
               'users'=>array('*'),
        ),
     );
}

if you really want one-place checking,,then go to component/controller and do it in the controller. because all controller inherits from that controller.
